DOVER — A package of three cigars valued at more than $50 was stolen from a local tobacconist while he was inside his humidor early Saturday evening, according to Dover police.

Lt. Carey Beaulieu said officers were called to Top Shelf Cigar at 284 Central Ave. at about 6 p.m. to speak with the owner. He reported that a man and a woman stole a tin of cigars while he was occupied looking for another product.

“Apparently the male and the female walked in, asked for some specific cigars, he went into his walk-in humidor, he came back into his store, the male left, and then apparently the female wasn't in there,” Beaulieu said.

Taken was a set of three Fuente Fuente OpusX Reserva D'Chateau cigars. A description available on the website of the Arturo Fuente cigar company states the cigars are the “pinnacle of cigar perfection, and the standard by which all cigars are measured.”

"Nestled in the rich, volcanic soil of the Dominican Republic lies Chateau de la Fuente, home to the finest cigar of our time, the coveted Fuente Fuente OpusX,” the website states. “The mineral rich soils of the Dominican Republic, once deemed unsuitable for wrapper tobacco, had never met with the expertise and tenacity of the Fuente family. Together they cultivated a glorious wrapper tobacco that became the foundation for the infamous Fuente Fuente OpusX, the first ever Dominican Puro."

A description provided on the website cigarplace.biz indicates the OpusX is the “flagship” of the cigar industry.

“There is simply no duplicate,” the website states. “Beginners should steer clear. This cigar is made for the world's most seasoned and discriminating palates only.”

The tin stolen Saturday evening was valued at $54.29. Beaulieu said officers are currently investigating and following up on leads.
